Rob Ford has lost all claim to our respect, and it is an insult to those fallen servicemen and women, and a particular affront to the veterans in attendance, to give him any official role in a Remembrance Day event.

While no one should be forced to do anything (within reason) they don’t want to do, it would be most disappointing if any Canadian citizen didn’t want to pay respect to the men and women who sacrificed their lives so we could be free.
